If the Mac is really getting touch support over the next year, as rumored, there's very little chance of UI metrics or iconography going back to how it was in earlier releases. Those are the before-times now, no matter who is in charge of design.

It's way more likely to *inherit* iOS's forms of interaction…

…like multi-handle text selection, out-of-process fps-preserving blurry/cached window resizing, state transition animations for everything, single-click interactions, and more 😅
